Credentialing in Healthcare

Credentialing in healthcare is the process of verifying the qualifications and background of healthcare providers, such as doctors, nurses, and specialists. This includes checking their education, training, licenses, and work history to ensure they are qualified to provide safe and effective care. Credentialing helps hospitals and clinics maintain a high standard of care, ensuring that patients receive treatment from properly trained and licensed professionals. It also involves ongoing monitoring to keep track of any changes in a provider’s status or qualifications throughout their career.
